I have run across a very unique problem. I first thought that my reverse lights where out. So I went and purchased new bulbs. To my surprise, the bulbs where just fine. I did a little digging around and found a few people with the same problem who solved it by replacing the reverse switch found on the tranny. So, I replaced that. Now, my reverse lights are simply ALWAYS on when I turn on the key, reguardless of what gear I am in. Even neutral!! When I unplug the switch, they go out. So, as of now, my plug is taped up and I have no reverse lights, yet again.

Any thoughts as to what it may be. Could this just be another bad switch I got from the parts store?

 

Or, maybe you put the switch in wired backwards.

 

LOL! I actually TRIED to put in backwards thinking that might solve it. You know, a "So easy, a Caveman could do it" thought! Nope, the plug will only seat in one direction, one way, so there's no way, even when I tried, to get in the wrong way.

 

Hmm, I'd try another switch, just to rule that out.

Did you double check the bulbs? There are several different #'s of bulbs that CAN fit back there, but won't work properly unless you have the right one.

I've done it before.

 

Good idea. I'll double check both tomorrow. that is, if its not freakin snowin!!! Cant wait for spring!
